| <title>External (SSL Client Certificates)</title> |
| |
| <para> When <link linkend="Java-Broker-Management-Managing-Truststores"> requiring SSL Client |
| Certificates</link> be presented the External Authentication Provider can be used, such that |
| the user is authenticated based on trust of their certificate alone, and the X500Principal |
| from the SSL session is then used as the username for the connection, instead of also |
| requiring the user to present a valid username and password. </para> |
| |
| <para> |
| <emphasis role="bold">Note:</emphasis> The External Authentication Provider should typically |
| only be used on the AMQP/HTTP ports, in conjunction with <link linkend="Java-Broker-Management-Managing-Ports">SSL client certificate |
| authentication</link>. It is not intended for other uses and |
| will treat any non-sasl authentication processes on these ports as successful with the given |
| username.</para> |
| |
| <para>On creation of External Provider the use of full DN or username CN as a principal name can |
| be configured. If attribute "Use the full DN as the Username" is set to "true" the full DN is |
| used as an authenticated principal name. If attribute "Use the full DN as the Username" is set |
| to "false" the user name CN part is used as the authenticated principal name. Setting the |
| field to "false" is particular useful when <link linkend="Java-Broker-Security-ACLs">ACL</link> is required, as at the moment, ACL does not support commas in the user name. |
